Mapping Kampung Orang Asli Hulu Chemperoh (Bentong)

Join us to enable community impact   

We are on a mission to empower communities in Pahang! In April, Epic Lead Pathfinders began basic mapping and conversations with village leaders to activate their local resources to develop their own communities. We have received their support to take the next step: Community Mapping.

We are looking for individuals to join us as volunteer Pathfinders, to interview community members and collect information that will enable the sharing of community stories in a dignified and accurate manner to invite collaborators to partner alongside these communities to enable positive impact.

If you have a passion for communities, enjoy having conversations or like to explore new places and meet new people, we're inviting you to join us as Pathfinders to map Kampung Orang Asli Hulu Chemperoh Bentong, Pahang. Find out more about this village below!
